Horror of religious persecution

Christians slaughtered and left in scalding-hot metal prisons

- by MICHAEL SNYDER

WHILE Christians in the western world peacefully celebrated Christmas, most of them had absolutely no idea what was happening to their brothers and sisters on the other side of the world.

Much of the population of the world lives in a country where Christians are being violently persecuted. Believers are being rounded up for deprogramming in China. Churches are being burned to the ground by Hindu extremists in India. And Christians are literally being cut into pieces by Islamic radicals in some parts of Africa.

Practising your faith can be a death sentence in certain areas of the Middle East, and North Korean concentration camps are teeming with people that are suspected of worshipping Christ.

More than a billion people live in China, and the persecution of Christians in that nation went to an entirely different level in 2025.

According to online news site The Daily Signal, over a thousand law enforcement personnel were involved in a massive operation that ultimately resulted in the arrest of hundreds of Christians as churches were raided.

The article claimed: “Belongings of relevant individuals were illegally confiscated, roads leading to the church were completely blocked by police, and Christians in Yayang Town were unable to enter the Yayang church.
